Rance Tidal Power Station, Brittany, France
Rance Tidal Power Station, in Brittany, France, near Saint-Malo.
This one was pretty challenging! (Good one!)
Some things that (seemed) to be clues were the indications of north-flowing water (safety lines across the water, and what looked like some sort of rapids above the structure).
A modern infrastructure (multi-lane highway, and the structure itself).
With so many boats, it seemed that it should be close to the ocean.
What appeared to be a nice climate.
Still it took me awhile to get it.
If the picture had been taken when the tide was coming IN, I probably wouldn’t have found it.
